4. Energy efficient

How many times have you left for the day and forgotten to turn off or adjust the temperature on the thermostat?

Running your air conditioner can be costly for you and for the environment. The ability to control your thermostat from anywhere means you can lessen the amount of electricity your home uses.

With smart thermostats, you can also set power consumption limits. When you near or reach the limit, you can receive an alert.

5. Energy usage reports

The truth is always in the numbers. Wireless thermostats are often able to provide you with monthly and yearly usage reports. These reports will show you:

Energy usage

Money saved

Usage comparison to neighbors and average usage

Ways to reduce energy usage

An overall energy rank

These reports can lead to even more money savings!

Potential limitations

As with any technology, there are limitations to be aware of. While smart thermostats are ideal for any home, knowing the limitations is ideal.

Read on to learn about potential WiFi thermostat limitations.

Signal transmission

The ability for signals to be transmitted within your home depends on the walls. Block and metal walls can cause interference and reception problems. Ensure your home allows for proper signal transmission.

To avoid this issue, do not mount the thermostat on these walls. Also avoid placing the thermostat near other frequencies, such as a microwave.

Wireless thermostats have wires

One misconception about wireless thermostats is that they are entirely wireless.

These thermostats use the same wired connection as a standard thermostat. The difference is that a smart thermostat can be controlled using a wireless connection.

These thermostats also require batteries. Low or dead batteries can cause unpredictable impacts.

Be sure the thermostat is properly connected. Also, ensure the thermostat has fully charged and working batteries.

What to look for in a WiFi thermostat

The WiFi thermostat making is ever-growing. In fact, there are dozens of wireless thermostats on the market.

So how do you know which one to choose? Here are must-haves to look for before purchasing a smart thermostat.

System compatibility

The wireless thermostat you choose must be compatible with your existing HVAC system. Before purchasing and installing the thermostat, be sure it works with your system.

To determine compatibility, you’ll need to know the type of system your home is fitted with.

System types include:

1 Stage – Used when there are separate air conditioning and heating units

2 Stage – Heating and cooling units that have low and high speeds

Direct line voltage – 110 or 240 direct current power; often found in older homes

24mV – Used with a wall, fireplace or floor furnace

Zone heating – Heating and cooling that is controlled in various areas from the same HVAC system

The thermostat you purchase will indicate the type of system it is compatible with. Look before you buy!

Mobile compatibility

The purpose of a WiFi thermostat is that you can control it remotely. Ensure the thermostat you choose allows you to control your home’s system from any mobile device.

The thermostat you choose should work on a variety of devices to include smartphones, tablets and laptops. The thermostat should also work no matter if you’re using an Android or iOS operating system.

Full mobile compatibility is a must!

Variety of features

Every wireless thermostat offers a set of features. Be sure the thermostat you choose allows you to:

Set timers and schedules

Adjust the temperature

Turn the system on and off

Set usage thresholds and alerts

These features will allow you to get the most out of your smart thermostat. Get the most bang for your buck with these features.

Easy to use

Controlling the WiFi thermostat shouldn’t be rocket science. Before purchasing, take a look at the control interface.

Is it easy to use? Are you able to navigate around the app?

Understanding how to control your smart thermostat is important. Don’t buy before checking out the app interface.

You’ll also want to determine how often the app is updated. App updates can impact how well you are able to control the system.

Make sure that the company provides routine updates to the app.

The Future is Now With Smart Thermostat

Whether you’re obsessed with the latest gadget and want a smart home, or are just interested in trying to find ways to better regulate the temperature in your house, getting smart thermostat is a great option.

Here, we’re going to tell you how a smart thermostat works, and why you need one!

A smart thermostat makes that happen. Using an app on your smartphone, or even texting a telephone number with your commands, you can control the temperature in your house wherever you are.

It even allows you to, if you’ve got zoned heating, control the upstairs and downstairs of your home separately.

Even better? This can be installed anywhere you like in your home, so it’s especially convenient.

Imagine if your home heated and cooled on your schedule, and not the other way around.

Plus, there are financial benefits. Controlling the temperature of your home while you’re away allows you to save money if you forgot to turn off your system after you left your house. Plus, this will help the furnace to be more efficient.

It also ensures that you’ll only use your system when you are at home, saving you serious funds. Some high-tech thermostats will know when you are home or away from home therefore will adjust the schedule accordingly and save you money!

How A Smart Thermostat Works

Mainly, these thermostats rely on sensors, so they can be adjusted according to your schedule and commands.

Basically, the temperature is yours to manipulate with the click of a button.

Some even operate with batteries – so make sure you have enough on hand to last you through those winter months!

Interestingly enough,smart thermostats do actually have wires. It’s the receiver itself that’s completely wireless, and it uses wires that have been coded by color to connect with the wired thermostat.

It’s even possible to get this thermostat synched up with other electronic devices in your home, including your lights and home entertainment system.

How To Get A Smart Thermostat Installed

While it is possible to install your smart thermostat yourself, we highly recommend relying on the company you bought the system from to help you safely – and quickly – finish the job.

Now that you’ve learned all about the great things these systems offer, we know you’re itching to get your hands on one.
